    Moorer learned a lesson at Heavyweight. Hence schooled. You think Foreman won a Gold medal for looking the same as his mid 40’s performance? Bruh you need coffee ?
    no, you were just wrong..Foreman was getting outboxed and landed 2 good shots..that is not schooling..Floyd took Canelo to school and Canelo got his masters and has done great since

      Floyds technical domination of Canelo was a 12 round highlight real, he made Canelo look useless.
      Nah. Floyd got schooled at the start of the bell in Round 1. Canelo inherited the favoritism for Vegas a side cash cow making. Even Malignaggi and Bernstein were geeked about the fight Rounds 1-3.

      the thing is that Showtime’s commentary is the de facto for this fight so the house fighter star for Showtime automatically gets bias or it contradicts the 200mil deal

            You still don’t understand “schooling.” Schooling is Floyd vs Gatti or Floyd vs Corrales. Or Canelo vs Smith...

            ”schooling” is risk taking on the ropes ala Benitez staying in the corner pocket against Hearns or Canelo playing rope a dope with GGG.

            ive said many times before, the only thing that Floyd “schooled” against Canelo was the counter punch game which Canelo chose to do at a deprived condition because he needed to go 12 rounds.

            Floyd fought cautious and has some really good rounds, but had Canelo landed his shots at Middleweight, the ones Floyd took, it would’ve been a different story.

            the funny thing is you don’t even understand SRL’s point about “no one way to beat Floyd.” SRL already said he would beat Floyd. Guess what! This goes back to what I explained to you about weights. What weight would SRL contextualizar or acknowledge to beating Floyd? Would he just cite 147 when he knows he fought Cotto or DLH at 154?

            I’ll make it easier for you, would Floyd fight SRL at 160 the way a once 130 Duran fought him at 160?

            time your time and absorb the whole conversation! Floyd ducked Cotto and Canelo for the Middleweight title. He could only beat Canelo at 152 because he was drained

                And I’ve boxed for 10years and watched 20 years of it. You only need 2 years of boxing and sparring to get the general idea of the hurt business. You know this. If we want to play games and talk about sparring match tagging then yeah Floyd outpointed Canelo. In 3 minutes it’s not hard to secure a round if you’re a master evader. The only other situations that come similar for dire scoring measures for insecurity is Amateur and Olympic scoring because the tallying is like compubox. A real pro fight is completely differentz. This is why Floyd was a masterclass technician for defensive evasion and Vegas house favoritism. Did we ever see Floyd attempt Sweet Pea type of playing against Canelo the way Whittaker did to DLH? No. These dynamics are why Floyd ducked Cotto and Canelo for the Middleweight titles. I only go off the arrogance from Floyd because he said they were “easy” fights. GGG get criticized for saying “easy” but Floyd doesn’t? One could stay humble but that’s why PAC is a greater fighter than Floyd.

                  No. Floyd has about 10 highlight shots against Canelo. Divide that in 12 rounds and you’d conclude that with just that one shot Floyd won the round because he didn’t have to engage and risk, just coast on the timer. Rounds 9-12 Floyd was on the flee. Rounds 1-3 Canelo was looking great for his age. Granted it wasn’t enough to topple Floyd’s Ring IQ, it was from rounds 4-8 that Floyd had the main groove to edge each round.

                  Keep telling yourself that to ease the pain of Canelo losing..

                    Man you got tunnel vision .

                    And Floyd was a frail boned 130lb fighter he has no business at all going to MW thats just another case of not looking the individual for what they are and trying to say they are all the same, they are not, each has their own sweet spot that has nothing to do with what somebody else did.

                    Floyds counter punching skills and work ethic is what got him to the top and allowed him to go 154, even there he didnt belong, 130 to 140 was his best, 147 and up was always a handicap for him and he did exceptionally well and proved to be the best of his generation his place in history is engraved in stone and all the crying in the world will never change that one iota its all recorded history now.

                      Floyd is one of the greatest fighters ever, but no fighter’s unbeatable. His best traits can be used against him by another elite fighter in their prime.

                      In the ODLH, Pacquiao, and Judah fights, we saw Mayweather’s reluctance against elite counterpunching. They took rounds by staying just outside of Mayweather’s range, making him hesitant to attack and only came into range when they were ready to attack.

                      Against Cotto, we saw the way to attack Mayweather. Cotto ending his combinations with jabs to the head is the best punch to execute against him.

                      Against Castillo, JLC constantly took an extra step to his right to stay on Mayweather’s left, force Floyd to square up, and cutoff one of his escape routes so Floyd could only disengage to the right.

                      I’m game planning my fighter to press the fight, stay out of range, feint the counter (shoot the counter or step back if he attacks), constantly step to Mayweather’s left and force him to keep turning, end most combinations with a jab, and only shoot the cross to the body.
